The bar chart illustrates the number of males and females engaged in further education in
Britain. It shows whether they were studying full-time or part-time and is divided in three
periods.
Overall, the number of men and women studying part-time outnumbered those studying full-
time by a significant margin. While both modes were relatively similar between the sexes,
there were some variance, especially in 1990s when the number of women studying part-
time increased substantially.
Regarding to full-time education, male students approximately doubled from around 100,000
to over well 200,000 by the end of 1991. For women, this trajectory was less consistent, rising
sharply in the first decade and then tapering off to an identical level to that of men in the
1990s.
The number of males engaged in part-time study over the three periods fluctuated, dropping
from 1 million to 900,000; meanwhile, the females studying part-time increased steadily from
800,000 in the 1970s to well above 1 million in the 1990s.
